Moving Back or Ahead

Some relations in life never change. A mom’s love for her child will never change even if the child leaves her once he is grown up. A pet dog will never harm his master even if he beats him everyday. Rest everything in life may change because Change is the law of life. Everyone changes over a period of time, I have changed, you have changed…..you can deny it but its true.

The change comes up because of various reasons. The first one is as we grow up we move out of our inner world and face the real world. We meet new people and thus learn from them and with it comes up new characteristics in our life. Definitely, our parents did not teach us the four letter words, smoking or drinking, we learnt it from our friends or from movies.  In addition, we do mistakes and learn from them, from mistake of choosing a wrong burger to even a wrong friend. Next time we are cautious because we have learnt from it.

However, the problem comes up when the source of change is not within us. It is exterior. By this, I mean when we get hurt because of other person mistakes. The change brought in by this is not constructive. It is a forced change, a change where in we generalize and start seeing the world with skepticism. Its something which is more to do with hurt rather than learning. One tends to overlook the good people around and just see the face of that one person in everyone.

Oh yeah, it happens. It has happened with me in past and I have seen it happening with many of my friends. 

I remember when I was in such a phase ( that time I didn’t know I was in it ) , my lovely sisters came to talk to me about this. They somehow always manage to get to know when am in trouble. They told me to learn from what happened but not to change because of it. The learning was to accept that relationship with other people in this world, be it girlfriend, best friend etc, there is a possibility that it may change with time. The stress is on the word possibility, it’s not a certainty. Few of the existing or future relations will stay for lifetime in which both the persons will be honest and devoted to it. So don’t go with prejudice while meeting others, just keep the expectations low and let the expectations grow with time .

One might be let down again but hey its not a failure if one learns from it. It’s a failure if it changes you. J

Truth for some , Fiction for others

A WALK TO REMEMBER

It was a difficult journey. One wrong step meant a free fall to hell. He was walking very carefully. It was dark moonless night .He had walked continuously for last so many days. Finally, he saw a small rest house. He decided to rest there for some time and entered in it. Suddenly he heard sound of someone weeping. He took out his sword and walked in the direction of sound. He saw a girl sitting there. He asked her politely about her destination. She quietly gave him the map. He compared her map with his map and realized that they both definitely have same path to traverse for next few years. However, before he said this to her, he heard a beautiful voice asking him “Do we both have same destination”? He realized if he said No then she wont walk with him. At the same time, it was night and he could not leave her alone there.

He again looked at the map and saw that their path might change only after reaching the biggest rest house of journey. It was a special rest house. It was widely believed that one always meet some known person resting there. He was optimistic to meet his friends there and carry on the rest of journey with them. He told her Yes and thought that she will also meet her known ones there and carry on journey with them.

She asked him again if he was sure about it. He nodded in affirmation and told her to trust him. She wasn’t completely sure but still decided to walk with him. With the first ray of sunshine touching her face, he realized that she was a beautiful princess. With this, he also understood that she is not a strong girl and hence he should be extra careful and ensure she never gets hurt.

With time, they became best friends.  She trusted him completely with the directions that she never looked at her map anymore. They walked together for next two and a half years before reaching the special rest house. There he was happily surprised to meet his friends. He introduced her to them. She also met her close friends there. They decided to stay there for some time.

Meanwhile he got to know that from there he had to take a different path. He told this to her. She said she no longer cares for her destination and will go with him. He was delighted to hear this, as he too wanted to be with her. However, his friends told him it is not safe for a girl to walk on their path and thus it will be better if she goes on her path. He realized he could not risk her life for his selfishness. He told her that she could not join him. She started crying and pleaded him to change his mind.

His friends came and told him its time to move. He told her to carry on the journey with her close friends. She was still crying. He had no option to walk away. After walking for 15 days with his friends he told them that he is going back to see if she left for her journey or not. He said its important for his peace of mind to know her well being. His friends said he was going to ruin his life by going back but he decided it was important for him so he walked back. On reaching the rest house, he was shocked to see her sitting and crying there.

 He apologized to her and tried explaining her again the reason. But then he was shattered to hear this line from her , she told him “ The rest house from where we started the journey together , I was waiting there for four years just to find a companion who had the same destination as I had.” He understood that he had done a big mistake.

He asked for forgiveness. She refused. He then requested her to carry on her journey with her friends. She told him that its impossible for her to see the path as tears are refusing to stop coming down from her eyes. He realized that time is running out for both of them , so he picked her up on his shoulders and started walking towards her destination. She shouted at him to leave her there and go carry on with his journey but he told her that he deserves this punishment and will carry on until the time her tears stop and she forgives him. With time he observed her tears stopped but she wasn’t her usual self. He realized that his one mistake had spoiled her life. But he wasn’t going to accept defeat. Slowly he felt she was coming back to herself. It was a difficult journey for him both physically and mentally .After walking nonstop for more than eleven months, one night she told him to stop and take rest. He was so tired that he felt asleep the moment he lied down.

He woke up next morning only to find her missing. He realized that she had decided its time for her to move on in her life without him. She had become strong to walk alone in her journey. He also understood that she didn’t forgive him but it was just because of her pure heart and soul that she left him to go back and pursue his destination.

Today he is walking towards his destination with tears in his eyes because he lost his princess but at same time with a smile, that atleast he ensured she reached her castle.

Its Idli Dosa time again

Pheww..Less than 20 days left now. Everything is almost set and from the talks I had with HR, it seems there wont be any further delay in joining this time around.

It seems there is some kind of connection between Chennai and me. It’s the third time Chennai is calling me, first time I spent two years there. The second time Infosys sent me there but due to some unavoidable circumstances I could not make it and came back home directly from mysore. Frankly I never thought in my wildest of dreams that I will be going back to Chennai again so this has left me also surprised.

I myself know it will be little tough to adjust in that city but I feel it is important for my career to work in Chennai as it’s the head office there. That is the reason I did not even talk with the HR for change of city, I had left it completely on him to decide the city. The good thing I liked is they were ready for changing the location if asked. So am just taking a little bit of gamble here and if some months later things go worse in Chennai which I hope not, then will go to HR and talk.

The reactions I get from everyone kind of irritates me. On hearing am going to Chennai everyone reacts as if am going to a village or hell. Then when I ask if you ever been to Chennai, 99% of the times the answer is NO. So I just give a sarcastic smile and the other person understands that its better to keep quiet. I intentionally stop anyone from talking bad about that city. Its because if I listen to them then I will be going there with prejudice and that will be wrong as I strongly believe prejudice is something which always stops you from doing things right. I don’t think then I will ever be happy there. So its better for me to just  go there and see the situation myself.

I am excited and at the same time little nervous too. Its kind of second innings for me in job arena, the first innings in a way I got retired hurt. Its interesting I will be starting it from exactly the same place where I left the first innings, Chennai.  Exactly 2 years ago I was supposed to be working in Chennai , so here I go resuming it from there. What goes around comes back around. J

Celebrating Peace Or War

10 years ago when WTC was attacked there were people on streets with joy in many Arab Countries. I remember watching those videos  from Pakistan, Israel, Palestine etc etc and there were videos of people in US crying on streets. This month after death of Osama Bin Laden people were again on streets from all these countries , the difference emotions had  interchanged.

At first thought, it looks that everything has changed for good in these 10 years. But hey think again, nothing has changed.  We (taking the world as one) are celebrating death of people.

One can never have peace as a result of War. Its not at all possible. Am sure, god forbid if next attack happens in US , one more country Afghanistan is already added in the list of countries celebrating it. And by this I don’t mean just the Talibans. I mean the common people too. Why. Because in the attack that US did on Afghanistan many civilians were killed. They had no clue about Laden or anyone else. They were just innocent people like us and they lost their home and family in those bomb attacks. Why wont they be happy to see the same happening to Americans ? Just to add why wont they be happy to be a part of doing something like that on US??

No one is a born terrorist. The people I talked about in last few lines are classified as terrorists by Western countries like US,UK etc and Jihadis By Arab countries. Well as followers of Western countries India is with US and UK always. Will you call Noble Peace Prize winner and international symbol of freedom Nelson Mandela a terrorist ?? He was on U.S. terrorist WatchLists and needed special permission to enter US till 2008. Can you believe that??Seems like terrorist has become a fancy word for US now  jisko mann kiya terrorist bol diya aur maar daala . :D

Why someone becomes a  so called terrorist ? Is it because of money , No I don’t think so. Its because of a reason, hatred for other countries/people because of what happened to his closed ones or his country. In hindsight with all respect think from this point of view, someone becomes a soldier with a hope that he never has to go on border to fight and the world stays a peaceful place  but someone becomes a terrorist with an intention to fight. A terrorist is just not another criminal. For them countries like US and even India are terrorists because these countries inflected the same agony on their people in past.

We read about 1971 war and thought why didn’t we Indians ended everything then and there. Its because of our reluctance that time the fight is still on and people are dying  by attacks on Train or Hotel Taj etc. Well in the same way, 50 years later people will read about the Kandahar Hijack, Kargil War and blame us for not doing anything to sort things out. What started in 1947 can not be ended by a winner takes all ‘India Pakistan War’. Its because some people eventually will be left alive in both countries and they will have memories of losing family and friends in that war and would like to take revenge.  To put it in one line the world is in a vicious circle of War and every time we think we are celebrating peace , we have just started another War.

P.S. If anyone from Pentagon reading this, please do not think I support terrorism. If anyone from Al Qaida reading this please do not think am ready to fight for you.  I am just a normal human being scared of losing mine and closed one’s life in this War.

Thoughts...Got Confused..More thoughts..

First , am sure u all must have seen Jab We Met. Fundoo movie na.. I too liked it , but hey don’t u think that Geet had actually gone cuckoo in love, as in she never did a reality check to understand if what she planned to do was making sense or not… naa..am not blaming her , its just one of the thoughts and a part of me right now is justifying what she did by saying “ It was her first love and every action you do in first love is direct dil se J “.

Second thought , there are songs for every mood. Dil chahta hai  title song…well we 3 friends specially went for a drive and played this title track ….a Kodak Moment … J . At the same time there are heart break songs too…Sadly I have my favorite ones in this category too…they are “ Somebody is me “ by Enrique and “ Tadap Tadap ke “ of movie Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. There was a time when I used to listen to them 10 times a day. Thankfully I don’t anymore J . Do you also have some favorites in this category ?? :P

Another thought, I believe words are losing their importance day by day. I mean nowadays words which are supposed to be used seldom are being used so frequently by us that they have lost its importance. From the words like “ I miss you “ or “ I love you “, they don’t have any impact and one has to say am seriously saying this to make the other person take notice….   to even abusive words .. man you have to slap the other person to show your anger as on hearing abusive word the other person keeps on smiling as he is so much used to hearing this. ..Did you also face this kind of situation ??? J

One more thought. Is it so difficult to say Goodbye. You were such good friends, but with time differences increased so much that now you decided you not going to talk to other person again , then isn’t it important that for sake of good times  you tell the other person about your intentions and end it on a peaceful note by wishing each other all the best for future. Is it that difficult or is it just because of a minute hope that may be the other person will someday make all the efforts to remove the differences or is it because you want the other person to keep waiting for your call or is it because of anger you not saying goodbye or is it because you don’t have strength to end it yourself??????  Can someone answer this question..I will be glad to hear an answer for this.

Eeh..Yeah its just one of those days, there are so so so many thoughts in my head. I thought why not put some of them in your mind and may be you can help me with some answers.J

Chalte Chalte

Ever it happened that you were after something for so long, cried for it, tried very hard for it and eventually when you got it, you started to think was it really worth that much.

We see this happening a lot to kids. We see them cry for a toy , parents get it for them eventually , they play with it for some time and then soon get  bored of it and start to think “ kaash doosra vala toy liya hota “.

With time, these things kept on happening but for other reasons. Didn’t ever this happen that you secretly liked someone and hoped to be with that person someday? Then one fine day that person talked with you and you realized naah that person is not the one for you and thus came down crashing your high hopes. You wished if that person never had talked with you, you were so much better off watching that person from distance. J

Didn’t ever this happen that you were after a dream job / college, made all the wrong sacrifices for it by neglecting friends and family. Then one fine day you achieved it and found the place was not actually the way you dream of it. Add to it you had travelled so much alone for the destination that you left your friends and family behind.

It rarely happens that we enjoy both the journey and the destination .Sometimes it happens due to “Loving the pursuit” human nature. As soon as we get to destination we start to think “What Next “and forget to enjoy good moments at destination. Sometimes the destination is not worth it itself.

So what actually important is to enjoy the journey. Do not make reaching the destination ultimate target so that you feel stressed during the journey.

“Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.” – Greg Anderson

Know your Role

“Don't think you are, know you are “

The first time I heard this line was when Morpheus was training Neo in the movie “The Matrix “. He was trying to push Neo to hit him harder and faster by making him understand that he has capabilities to be faster. I was in 8^th standard then so didn’t understand this line much.

The second time I heard something like this was last year when I went to one of my finance  teachers to discuss and clear confusions about my future , if it was right for me to take the risk of doing MBA only in finance. He asked me a very simple question “ Rahul why do you think you can do that “ ..I replied “ I think am good in finance “ , to this he gave a fundoo counter reply “ Don’t think u r good at finance…either u r good or u r not…there is nothing to think about it…so go n find out the answer yourself . If you can do that then you won’t think about small issues like risk , fear etc “ . I was amazed that time by what he said. I started to read extra about finance topics to see if I can understand them myself and whether I feel a liking for it and if am good at it, as in if it is actually my strength or weakness. And ola I had a definite answer for it and with it vanished all my fears about choosing the specialization.

With this, I understood it is very important to understand one’s weakness and strengths. If we understand them properly then nothing is impossible to achieve. Well as always, my two favorite movies will explain this thought better.

First of all, my favorite movie “The pursuit of happyness “. Chris Gardner realized that his biggest strength was he was good with numbers and people. The job he tried to pursue in second half of movie needed exactly these two qualities. He gave his best in it and beat all odds to land up with his dream job. This explains what understanding one’s strength can do.

Now the weakness thing. John Nash in “A beautiful Mind “ understood that he had a weakness of seeing imaginary people. A weakness, which in medical terms is known by a disease, called schizophrenia. What others called a disease he made it look like a weakness and conquered it to be a Nobel Prize winner.The first step towards success for him was understanding his weakness and to conquer it.

Wow..There is so much to learn from these two persons.  We spend so much time in trying to understand the world and other people that we forget ourselves. Its not possible for us to control our life completely but I guess we can as shown by these two atleast give a direction to it by understanding our strengths and weaknesses.

India : Factory of Techies and MBA’s

Btech + MBA …a deadly combo…Am one of the millions in India holding these two degrees. Well I will say that Btech wasn’t much of my choice , but MBA definitely was mine. I have a very strong view point for post graduation. I always advice everyone that  go for post graduation  if you wish to study. Choose the discipline which you wish to pursue not your parents/ friends. It should be entirely your decision.

It’s the season of admissions. I get many calls enquiring about my college, comparing my college mainly with these four:

 IMT - difficult one to choose

 Fore - We are Man Utd and they are our neighbors Man City

KJ Somaiya - Go for it if u wish to see n try your luck with Mumbai girls

 Tapmi – Not applicable

Every time I talk to MBA aspirants, it surprises me. I seriously get a feel that MBA is seen by many as a shortcut to get higher packages. Some don’t want to go for MS outside India and realize its very tough to get  into a good college for Mtech in India so MBA becomes the destination for them. And  Yeah maximum janta in B schools is from the World of IT and what best way to get out of it  for them, MBA .

I think this is the reason that in US n UK work experience is a must to get admission in a good Business School. With work experience one not only gets a feel of corporate world but also finds the missing element “Focus “. They are well prepared to answer the most difficult and expected question in interview “Why MBA “ . I also had a very hard time while making up an answer for this question because I knew just answering “ Its my dream “ won’t help to get admission.

Another bad thing that is happening in India is the rate at which B schools are opening up  ( IMI too is in this race with 2 new campuses added this year ). I seriously feel that 10 years down the line the situation will be same like is in IT right now. The quality of education and the quality of students holding MBA degree will not be the way it should be. It is very important that some stringent steps are taken by education ministry to control the MBA factory in our country, for start by cancelling licenses of B schools who doesn’t have the right faculty and infrastructure for giving good quality higher education.

If things dont change soon then I do hope someday US companies start outsourcing Managerial aspects of their business too , otherwise we MBA's wont get jobs . :)

Love Actually is All around

Oh yeah…I watched a romantic movie after a long long time J . I thought since am on holidays it wont matter that even if I feel sad/depressed/romantic/stupid/weird for couple of days after watching a romantic movie. I wasn’t sure what the feeling would be.

The movie I watched is “ Love Actually “ . It’s a good romantic movie …If you have seen it am sure you will agree that its well made movie,  so many stories and relations but well captured. If you haven’t seen it yet then I suggest do watch it, it’s a nice movie. Salam-e-Ishq was inspired ( as said by bollywood directors ) from this movie and it is as good a movie as bad salam-e-Ishq was. A big thanks to the two friends who recommended this movie to me . J

Well after watching the movie now I understand that chahe kuch bhi ho jaaye…dil to dil hai :D ….My mood is totally romantic again and I guess it will stay so till the hangover of the movie lasts.  Wow there is something beautiful about these kind of romantic movies which are well written and directed. You get to feel all the good good things about love like you can fall in love anytime …it doesn’t matter age, religion, language etc etc. Love is blind and strong…common do anything to get love….common go and confess your love , it doesn’t matter….hehe…these movies can be classified inspirational also…

And yeah in the end when you see all stories ending happily and in love a tear of happiness rolls down the eyes. J

Oh yeah one more thing…the start of the movie is really nice. There is a message in beginning. It is that when our life will be nearing the end the people we will like to talk to or meet will be our loved ones , we wont care about the people whom we hate or who hurt us in past and are not with us today for some reason or other. So why are we wasting these days by thinking about them when we have our loved ones with us.

P.S. After watching the movie My Mood : Good good n romantic

Song in my mind now : Mere sapno ki raani kab aayegi tu….

Oye Manu Why Tanu

I admit I did the mistake of watching Tanu Weds Manu today. First 20 mins were ok…the first time I felt that the movie is stupid one when Manu says I will marry Tanu…eeh..i felt common you cant do this…and then the first time I heard kangana’s voice..I stopped watching the movie ,I cant stand her voice..

The worst part is am suffering the after effects of watching 25 minutes of this movie. A stupid question has got in my mind and in addition a little bit of fear too. It is weird though but cant help it.

Ok  as per my mom I should be ready for marriage around 3 years later. Now as things stand right now, it will be an arranged marriage. And after watching a bit of this stupid movie am thinking how will I decide if the girl is right for me. I know I wont be that stupid like Manu falling for a girl on just seeing her ..Manu wake up it was not love at first sight , it was Lust unless you always dreamt of marrying a girl who comes to meet you after having vodka and sleeping pills.

Wow.. I was always neutral towards arranged marriages but suddenly am feeling little scared of them. It is a decision for life and we have to decide in 20 minutes or so if the person is right or not. A decision in 20 mins…for life….wife……phewww….scary

Mumma papa pls koi achhi ladki dhoondna mere liye :D … sab aap ke upar hi hai ..hehe…

N guys am sure most of you will get married before me…so please do share your valuable insights with me in future J

A guy’s plea

As kids, we all learnt rights listed down in our constitution of India. One of them being the right to equality.  SC/ST/OBC all has reservations today and this is a weird way by the government to give them the right to equality to the extent that now the general people have started demanding reservation.

Now taking the gender issue, I totally agree to the fact that even today girl child is not seen with same eyes in many parts of the country especially rural India. However, what surprises me is that what is wrong with some city women. I mean why the hell are they acting like being always seen with wrong eye.

Sometimes I do get a feel that they over react. Common if you wear short clothes in a crowded area there will be people looking at you with bad eye. I don’t buy the argument that you didn’t expect this to happen when you started from home. And please stop criticizing my city that its not safe. No where no one can take guarantee of you being safe if you go on a walk at 3 am. Being a guy I been chased on road by other guys at 3 am and it scared the hell out of me , they were just after me because I stopped my car at red light and didn’t cross it till the time it turned green. They were after me to hit me, you being a girl those guys will be after you to rape you. Its 3 am dear we all own responsibility to ourselves.

At the same time many guys including me welcomed the decision of a separate coach for women in Metro. We understood that metro is used by people of all sections of society and some of them were being bad to girls. Yeah its true that metro ride is now very boring as I dont get to see any girl in the compartment and dont get to hear there weird talks :D .

I hate seeing celebrities like Rakhi Sawant , I don’t even treat them as human beings leave alone females. They deserve to be called as item girls . I have no sympathy towards them.Common don’t make it a national issue if Mika kissed you on your lips and please stop saying lines like this “ usne mujhe yaha kiss kiya …yahaa…me ek bharitya naari hu, vo mujhe cheeks par kiss karta but yaha kiss karna sirf mere pati ka hak hai “ …Miss Sawant I say hire a writer. NGOs for women why don’t you do something about these kind of people , why you keep harassing guys without even doing background research on just one complaint by a girl.

Indian laws , Section 9 divorce act and Section 13 Hindu marriage act , when will you think of updating yourself. When will you stop taking the side of girl? When will the Indian judiciary will treat a case of dowry without a bias and see that it might be a girl making a false claim ?

And yes when a guy parents will agree that like there are guys who are bad, so are girls. Not every girl is sati savitri  and so if a guy sees his wife/gf with some kind of suspicion he has the right to do so. Please we guys also do have a heart and it was broken by one of girls only. We were not born with the intention of being bad as shown in bollywood movies. I cant understand the fact why they show it always that a girl dreams of being with a guy and a guy dreams of being with 100 girls. Na , its not true. A guy too dreams to be with one girl whom he can trust and love unconditionally. Yes its true, believe me girls. We guys are not that bad.

P.S. Whatever I still love girls …. :D

Formula 1 : Running out of ideas

Last season ended with the birth of new champion where in Sebastian Vettel won his first drivers' title by winning the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in a dramatic finish. Yes, all the Formula 1 lovers saw that race because on paper one could see lot of permutations and combinations possible to decide the next champion.

However, roll back to mid season last year or the first three races of this season. Watching Formula 1 does not bring the same level of excitement it used to in the times of battles between Mika Hakkinen and Michael Schumacher or the unrestrained BMW Williams drove by Juan Pablo Montoya.  What is missing today in Formula 1 is the competitive spirit between Hakkinen and Schumacher and the overtaking maneuvers of Montoya to keep the viewers glued on the TV screens during the whole race.

What has happened is that Formula 1 has got into the vicious circle of technology. It is very much acceptable by everyone that it is the car that has more say in deciding the eventual winner rather than driver. Michael Schumacher, though little older today is still the same he was in last decade when he was winning world championships. What has changed is he is no longer driving Ferrari but Mercedes GP that is not able to match today’s Red Bull and McLaren Mercedes.

A lot has been tried to cut down the huge gap between the cars to encourage lot more competition and overtaking to thereby trying to make races more exciting and thus attract more viewers for this sport. The interesting point to notice here is that the gap created by technology has been tried to be narrowed down by again using technology. KERS is the recent example of the same. It was brought in to increase overtaking but the results are not there to be seen. Red Bull played another masterstroke in response to this technology by not using it at all in the races. Therefore, the result has been that Formula 1 is failing repeatedly to come out of vicious circle of technology.

Formula 1’s boss, Bernie Ecclestone too understands this situation of continuously losing out on viewership and from time to time has introduced new ideas to counter that. Night Race in Singapore was one such recent addition to make the event more attractive and spectacular inspite of retaliation by the drivers citing safety issues. In addition, efforts have been made to tap new viewers and increase popularity in China and India by having Formula 1 races hosted in these countries.

Nevertheless, the situation is still very bad. The level of it can be imagined by the fact that Bernie went on to propose introduction of a sprinkler system for artificial rains to spice up the races. Well seems like Bernie is running out of ideas to bring in excitement to the world of Formula 1.

Quotes and Me

I love quotes. I do go to websites to read quotes. I have been doing this for many years.

My all time favorite quote is “Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans” by John Lennon.

N yeah I love writing them also. Most of the one-liners/quotes I put on Facebook are written by me.

I do keep writing them from time to time. Most of the times it happens that suddenly a line comes up in my mind and I write it down in a new notepad file and put it on my desktop.

Right now I was just clearing my desktop and I found this file…It had some quotes written by me which I have not put on Facebook ever, I guess because they are little senti types and might give a wrong signal. This is also one of the many reasons that I do not share my blog with everyone.

So I thought of sharing them with you. J

·         Its always better to walk alone than to hold someone's hand only to leave it later.

·         Listen to my favorite songs carefully, because that is what I always wanted to say to u.

·         I don’t need a time machine to take me back because I know I will again do the same mistake of loving u.

·         If only we both had learnt the meaning of friendship, love and trust from same dictionary.

We were Good Boys

In 10^th standard, my five classmates and I were selected for the Basketball squad of school. With inter school basketball competition coming up we were required to practice and hence had to miss classes.

Missing classes in 10^th standard for playing..Wow…nothing better than that. It was bound to happen that there were jealous students around. One of them was in other section. So once when we were practicing in class hours, that guy had his Sports period and he was in the ground. He went to our teacher who was taking class that time and complained “ye ladke playground mein meri class ki ladkiyan ched rahe hai “…

The teacher was already furious that we guys bunked her class for playing. Therefore, she called us and gave us punishment to stand outside the class. We got very angry for three reasons…first we were just playing in the basketball court whole time ….secondly there was not any good girl in that person’s section ….thirdly it was  a strong punishable offence which would surely go to go to principal and then our parents  and repercussions  could be severe .

So one of us took the bold step and went inside to tell the teacher while class was on that we have not done anything wrong and hence cancel our punishment right away. She got further angry and called the head in –charge of 10^th standard…

Now what happened after that we still remember that…The head in –charge came and she got shocked on seeing us punished…She called the teacher from class and said to her “ye ladke ladkiyaan ched rahe the…me maan hi nahi sakti…. These are good Boys… You can’t punish them for this reason “….Then she told us to get back in class and study and not to miss this teacher class in future because she doesn’t like it.

Well, in school time we proved to be good boys and were made prefects of our respective houses in 12^th standard. J

N this instance always comes up in discussion whenever we all meet  and everyone laughs and says “ Once upon a time WE WERE GOOD BOYS “ :D :D

A good Gmail feature

Almost everyone uses Gmail. Ever it happened to you, that you clicked send button and soon after that realized “Oh man I forgot the attachment / no I wrote this wrong  etc etc etc “ …

Well I Just learnt that there is a way out. We can actually stop the sent mail from reaching the destination …max we can do this in 30 seconds..I guess 30 seconds r more than enough J

Here is the way out

·         Go to Settings, click on Labs and enable the option that says "Undo Send".

·         Click General under Settings and here you can select the time (up to 30 seconds) for which the email can be stopped after it is sent.

·          When you press the send button and the inbox comes up, you would see a yellow box saying, "Your message has been sent. Undo or View message" on top. Click on undo to cancel sending the mail and get the draft back. You can then make the necessary changes to the text or add the recipients you forgot and send again.

Cool na….N yeah it works…I tried it J

Wow..this is my first ever post on technology J ….hehe…I can write on topic other than Philosophy n sports :D

Trust Vs Love

Is it that if we love someone we trust his or her judgements /decisions / thoughts too? I guess on first thought most of us will  answer YES …a big YES and say there cant be love without trust …if I love someone then I trust that person…

Have you watched the movie “A Beautiful Mind “? It’s my second favorite movie in the list of My TOP 5 movies (Yeah..As always I have list for this too.. am obsessive with making lists :D ) ..ok back to movie…I love this movie and have watched it many times…the beautiful part about this movie is it is inspirational , at the same time motivational and real J . If you haven’t seen this movie please watch it and if u don’t like it then.. Then… then I will treat you for wasting your 2 hrs n few minutes: D

While watching the movie 3 days back…the question of Trust Vs Love came in my mind…Nash was always told by his wife that the people he was seeing were imaginary …He loved his wife a lot but still he could not trust her n convince himself that what she was saying is truth… After all, he was seeing the imaginary people, how could he trust someone else even his wife… The moment he was convinced that the people were fiction of his imagination was when he realized that the girl (one of the people he used to see and were imaginary) was not getting any older.

Now is not it so true. I mean somewhere we all must have gone through this. We did something which was against wishes of our parents , they were saying NO but we were adamant that am right….Some other case Our closest of friends said this or that person is wrong…but we  stuck to our judgment…..

Everyone Loves parents and closest of friends the most …..Then why we didn’t trust their judgement/decision/thought……Is dat v become too mature to take our decision even if it means going against our parents n friends….Or v know what is better for our lives than them….N v say to ourselves that no matter things go wrong atleast I will be responsible …. Or its not question of Trust here…Its something else…

Eehh…too many questions…But then I guess a movie that makes you think deserves too be in the list of favorites J …

Another two movies which are in the list of my favorites n makes me think every time are “ The Pursuit of Happyness “ and “ Prestige “ …. The best part I love about these 3 movies  is that the characters shown are so much real as compared to Hindi movies…as in the characters have their own flaws and thus the emotions n behaviors are closed to what we experience in real world J.
